Decommissioning!

Work, Work, Work!

We are in the process of decommissioning SUNSHINE.

We left the harbor yesterday. Today, we removed the jib, all the canvas, and cleaned and stowed the dinghy. We also removed the mainsheet, retrieved the bikes from the city marina, folded them and placed them in their storage bags. We're taking them to Yellowstone in the fall.

I asked the marina staff to haul SUNSHINE tomorrow. We still have a few cleaning and decommissioning chores, the last of which is to flush the engines with vinegar and change the engine and gear oil. We'll load the truck with everything that's going home and then we'll stow the mainsail.

Once those tasks are done, decommissioning will be completed! We'll get a good nights sleep and head off to Myrtle Beach by way of New Smyrna Beach, where we'll visit Joe and Dee for a couple of days.
